Haliteâs most distinctive characteristic is its salty taste. For practical and sanitary reasons, you probably should not test the taste of a mineral sample by directly licking the sample. Instead, moisten your finger, rub the sample and then taste the residue left on your finger.
Calcite is also transparent and translucent like halite, but its cleavage is rhombohedreal rather than cubic. Calcite also reacts easily with dilute acid, and lacks haliteâs salty taste. Do not test the sampleâs taste after testing it with dilute acid however.
